It can be purchased in RWD or "Auto 4WD" (using Hondas VTM-4 system).

Just browsed the wiki page song all it said was 4wd in the top section. Thanks.

I always assumed they were Awd.

Ridgelines are front wheel drive bias (not rear wheel drive) with all wheel drive standard. The engine is transverse mounted like in the Odyssey and Accord. Front wheels slip then the rear wheels engage.

With traction control it's not a bad system for snow and ice, but it's not as ideal for off roading like the system in the Tacoma, Colorado, Silverado, etc.

For some people, it's a decent choice. I just don't understand why it has such low fuel economy relative to full sized and even newer mid sized traditional body on frame trucks. I think a new Ridgeline is coming out soon.
